Aidan McNeill was born in Toronto, Canada and lives and works London, UK.
Her practice investigates how the creative act reforms relationships with nature during periods of technological dominance. Ongoing interests are the notions of surface distance, from the relationship between humans, the environment and particular boundary points, especially that of water and earth, to the material surface of the photographic image and aesthetic distance. Her research methodology originates from a geographical, mythological and historical foundation.
Aidan McNeill is an MA graduate from Central Saint Martins School of Art (2006). She previously completed her BA (Hons) from Sir John Cass School of Art, London (2003). A selection of her works are included in the 2013 publication Nature Morte by Michael Petry, published by Thames & Hudson, and images from her recent series Borders Between (Core Crops) have recently been awarded Gold in Prix de la Photographie, Paris. Aidan’s work is held in collections worldwide, including the Canadian High Commission.
